Stay Tuned is one of the legendary Kelly-Peterson 46's. Only 30 of these center-cockpit offshore cruisers were built, and they remain a much sought-after, well-built and capable yacht. Doug Peterson, the designer, and Jack Kelly, the builder, spent much time researching and implementing improvements to the more than 200 KP44's they had built. The result is the KP46.

She spent 15 of the last 17 years on Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, in fresh water, where we sailed in the summers.

We took her to Newport in summer 2018; 2018-2019 winters were in Florida and Key West. She spent the summer of 2019 out of the water at Hinckley boat yard in Stuart.

She is presently at the Hinckley Yacht Club and Marina in Stuart.
